“There can be no keener revelation of a society’s soul than the way it treats its children”-Nelson Mandela A Child at a tender age is often innocent, gullible, vulnerable and brimming with trust. Along these lines it is significant that the society and the family as equivalent supporters of child’s wholesome development, safety and well-being guarantee a childhood be happy and adoring.

Children, particularly ones from the poor economic background suffer starvation, are deprived of basic education, suffer labour exploitation.
